GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time at lincoln, though it was short, it was a true experience. Through faculty, and my peers I found what I believe is my true calling in my life. Staff like Mr. Fanning, Mrs. Larubio, Mr. Brathwaite, and many more helped me in ways I couldn't even put to words.

Abraham Lincoln High isn't what most people would associate with greatness. On a national scale, it is placed 8,000+, not exactly impressive. It's no Brooklyn Tech, that's for sure. However, their are exceptions to this. I was lucky enough to have a few teachers that actually cared for me and understood my needs as a student. I had to suddenly move to New York after living practically my whole life in another state.

My experience with Abraham Lincoln high school has been mostly positive overall. The high school would be a much better environment if there were better facilities such as cleaner restrooms and more lockers, also food could improve and more college prep to encourage students to attend college

For the person who wrote a review regarding their attendance 60 YEARS AGO, a lot has CHANGED!!! You should make a visit. The school is notorious for kids being bullied, and security arriving way too late, and if they don't get you in school they will get you after school. There must be a change this...

This school is so terrible they only focus on the football and basket ball teams not subjects or new books or anything of that sort. The teachers are very unexperienced and have no control over the classroom. The kids there are ruthless fights all the time as well as bullying. The only thing is good...
